Bayesian methods are also used in this research ﬁeld, but the association between these two is being developed. The aim of this paper is to present new mathematical concepts that are based on information and probability theory and can be applied to network analysis in Team Sports. These results are based on the transition matrices of the Markov chain, associated with the adjacency matrices of a network with n nodes and allowing for a more robust analysis of the variability of interactions in team sports. The proposed models refer to individual and collective rates and indexes of total variability between players and teams as well as the overall passing capacity of a network, all of which are demonstrated in the UEFA 2020/2021 Champions League Final.

Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages
International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 1 6, Issue 1, 2017 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.1515/ijcss-2017-0002 Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages Yaldo, L., Shamir, L. Lawrence Technological University Abstract The wage of a football player is a function of numerous aspects such as the player’s skills, performance in the previous seasons, age, trajectory of improvement, personality, and more. Based on these aspects, salaries of football players are determined through negotiation between the team management and the agents. In this study we propose an objective quantitative method to determine football players’ wages based on their skills. The method is based on the application of pattern recognition algorithms to performance (e.g., scoring), behavior (e.g., aggression), and abilities (e.g., acceleration) data of football players. Experimental results using data from 6,082 players show that the Pearson correlation between the predicted and actual salary of the players is ∼0.77 (p < .001). The proposed method can be used as an assistive technology when negotiating players salaries, as well as for performing quantitative analysis of links between the salary and the performance of football players. The method is based on the performance and skills of the players, but does not take into account aspects that are not related directly to the game such as the popularity of the player among fans, predicted merchandise sales, etc, which are also factors of high impact on the salary, especially in the case of the team lead players and superstars. Analysis of player salaries in eight European football leagues show that the skills that mostly affect the salary are largely consistent across leagues, but some differences exist.

Player Chemistry: Striving for a Perfectly Balanced Soccer Team
Player Chemistry: Striving for a Perfectly Balanced Soccer Team 1 1,2 Lotte Bransen ‒ Jan Van Haaren 1 2 S ciSports, The Netherlands ‒ K U Leuven, Belgium {l.bransen, j.vanhaaren}@scisports.com 1. Introduction In the dying hours of the 2010/2011 winter transfer window, Liverpool signed Andy Carroll from Newcastle United. Although The Reds had to break their transfer record, Carroll never met the expectations. The forward, who had scored 11 goals in 19 matches for The Magpies in the first half of the season, managed just 6 goals from 44 appearances for Liverpool. The then-22-year-old Carroll is a tall target man thriving from crosses, but Liverpool did not play that way and also did not have the appropriate players in their squad to accommodate his preferred playing style. In contrast, the more mobile Luis Suárez, who was signed on the same day and gelled much better with the players surrounding him on the pitch, scored 69 goals in 110 matches for Liverpool. Although this example illustrates the importance of chemistry among players, recruitment departments at soccer clubs still largely ignore this aspect in their evaluation of potential signings. Typically, scouts solely focus on the individual qualities of potential signings and do not account for the team balance and team chemistry in their judgments on the players. On one hand, assessing the potential chemistry with the players who are already on their team is hard by watching a limited number of matches either on tape or live in the stadium. On the other hand, existing soccer analytics tools that can process large volumes of match data mostly focus on evaluating the individual performances of players.
